I was inspired by Wills crate build and this is what I came up with. This will be for traveling in the car this summer and camping off grid. I had the 90w solar kit left over from a travel trailer I had last year it came with a 10A pwm controler, so I just changed it out with the mttp 10A Epever. I also had the crate, but everything else was just purchased for the build. I did a load test using 2- 250W heaters and they ran for 2hr's and 14 mins on a full charge till the inverter started beeping at 10.5v and shut off 30 secs later My chepo amp meter says the heaters and the inverter where drawing 10.6 amps, the meter was on the cable from the battery to the inverter. After the shut down about a miniute I toggled the inverter switch and everything fired back up so I just shut it off. Once off the voltage poped up to 11.1. The PC power supply has a 59a 12v rail and is used with the dc to dc charger while in the house. I used anderson connectors so once in the car I will plug it into the charging system 90a alternator.
